2.2 Foreword
Dear customer!
We are delighted that you have chosen to purchase this foot care dry technology device. The
BaehrTec A1200/A2000 boasts technical features that will help to enhance your work.
The BaehrTec A1200/A2000 is made from many high-quality aluminium, stainless-steel and
plastic parts which are also used in sports car and aircraft construction and thus guarantee
the ultimate stability and quality. Furthermore, the micro-processor-controlled electronics
ensure maximum power and performance from the electronic components.
In addition, the BaehrTec A1200/A2000 has an electronic readjustment for the handpiece
motor, which provides power and performance even in the lowest rotation speed range. Try it
for yourself – you'll be amazed.
Another highlight is the Easy-Speed concept. Thanks to the instrument illustrations on the
controller, setting the engine speed for the instrument currently in use is guaranteed to be
child’s play (however, this is no substitute for the user checking that the maximum speed for
the instrument currently in use is not exceeded).
In addition to the easy-speed concept, the BaehrTec A1200/A2000 has a colour display that
provides you with further information and which will facilitate adjusting some device settings
(e.g. colour background).
Modern electronic devices typically have energy-saving features. This is why we have
purposely not included a standby function on the BaehrTec A1200/A2000. Therefore, when
your device is not required, please turn it off using the main switch, which is located in a user-
friendly position on the front of the device. Protect the environment and your purse.
The BaehrTec A1200/A2000 has the following outstanding advantages:
- very low weight
- very low noise level
- simple operating with a high degree of operating safety
- high performance, perfectly adjusted to the working conditions
- high robustness (for mobile use)
- high and long reliability
- high energy-saving potential (no standby mode)
- Button on handpiece
The BaehrTec A1200/A2000 foot care device has been made and tested in accordance
with strict quality criteria, and it complies with Directive 93/42 EEC for medical devices.
We hope your new device brings you plenty of enjoyment and we wish you every success in
operating it.
Your
Gustav Baehr GmbH
